d. For a -10.3 angle, it is helpful to remember that 1 radian = 57°. Therefore,
-10.3 = -10.3(57°)
F -587.1°.
For a -587.1° angle, we need to add two multiplies of 360° to find a positive
coterminal angle less than 360°. Equivalently, for a -10.3 angle, we need to
add two multiples of 27, or 47, to find a positive coterminal angle less than 2π.
-10.3+27 2 = −10.3 + 4π = 2.3
A 2.3 angle is approximately coterminal with a -10.3 angle.
